The largest number of carders is difficult to pinpoint, as carding is a global phenomenon and scammers can operate from anywhere in the world thanks to the anonymity of the Internet. However, there are several factors and regions that are often mentioned in the context of carding:
  1. Russia and the CIS
    Russia and the CIS are often cited as regions with high carding activity. This is due to the presence of tech-savvy professionals, access to underground markets, and weak international controls in some cases.
  2. USA
    The United States also features in the reports, but as a primary target for carders rather than a location where they are concentrated. This is due to the large volume of online trading and the widespread use of credit cards.
  3. Southeast Asia
    Regions such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand are also mentioned in the context of carding. Underground markets and fraud schemes related to payment systems are popular here.
  4. Global Underground Markets
    Carders often gather on international forums and platforms where they exchange information, sell stolen data, and discuss new schemes. These platforms may be registered in different countries, making them difficult to track.

Why do these regions stand out?​

  • Technical background: Some countries have strong IT communities that may be involved in illegal schemes.
  • Weak controls: A number of countries lack strict controls on cybercrime, which creates favorable conditions for carders.
  • Economic factors: In low-income areas, people may be more likely to engage in illegal activities.
